Antebels' Academy for Gifted Minors (Discussion)

Sure thing, if you want. I'm sure something more finalized will pop up eventually once I figure more things out.

Also, how long has Samson been around?

So we're up to making our own schedules? Sounds good to me.

Four weeks, but he doesn't know Nadis has shape-shifting powers. He thinks wolves are pretty cool, to instant awesome extents. Though he'll likely throw a fit should Nadis actually prove he can turn into a wolf.

Sorry, but I'm going to have to bow out. I can't keep up with all the posting. I will say that what I've seen is good and if this is your first effort at an RPG, you have a good future as a GM.

: You think this is bad? Take a glance at We Are All Pokemon Trainers sometime. :/

WAAPT?

...

fuck

I don't think it's bad, it's just too much for me. The irony is I'd been hoping for something that moved at a faster pace than the other RP Gs I'm in. Be careful for what you wish for.

It's okay. Wherever you go next, I wish you luck.

Two questions Truth; How much freedom do we the players have to detail the world (from making up books at the least with describing an area on the high end), and is there a limit to how many NP Cs we can make? In addition I assume NPC would mean here Not Player Controlled, so would you write all their actions or does it mean anyone can write for them? I have several ideas for teachers, but the majority I wouldn't feel right letting someone else have total control (plus the fact everyone I make is a lot more complicated than first glance).

Oh yeah, how do you intend to regulate characters learning/improving abilites? Samson is likely not going to teach Jack anything, but if he does decide it would be good to know how much you'll allow.

By NPC I mean an off-hand and usually unnamed character that is used for a specific scene. For example, if you're in a form of art class and you don't have an art teacher, you're allowed to say the teacher is doing something or other, and such. The highest you can go with 'control over the world' is the description of your character's dorm, I feel.

And I don't understand what you mean by that last thing. I wasn't planning on conducting things like an actual academy, with grades and such... I dunno. I'll think about it.

I mean would it be too early for characters to learn/improve powers, or is learning/improving powers at all a no-no? Anyways, I have several relatively detailed characters in mind for filling out a number of classes. Since there's only a maximum of three allowed but a lack of class variety, I wanted to make a bunch of teachers.

Oh, and is there a librarian? I really love libraries, so I would be disappointed if there wasn't one since the library would be less than it should be.

Oh, no, that's actually encouraged. Just, not learning powers just to learn them, but learning new ones to help cope with life, with your existing ones, etc.

There can be a librarian. It IS a library, after all.

Would it be all right for me to make detailed characters to fill teaching roles? Outside of classes they'll only pop up if someone deliberately wants to interact with them.

Just a word of warning: I won't have proper internet till Wednesday (currently using a phone hotspot, which is sketchy as hell), but even then it'll be off/on 'til Sunday (I'll be going back and forth from my dorm to the condo). So the battle may move a bit slowly.

Uhh, I guess so.

Sorry, just not in the right mood to be dealing with the RP right now. Hopefully I can get my motivation back.

Do we have enough content to justify a trope page?

I'd say wait a bit.

If you want to make it simply a private project, I would be amenable to helping with it and then making it official down the line.

I'm considering Cornelius having a gold irised left eye that lets him glance at someone to learn what they call themselves. Not automatically their true name (or even a name at all), and being able to pronouce it would be a seperate skill. Would this be okay?

May have him intervene and stop the fight before things get too far.

Can any of you see what Woe's game plan is? I gave you two hints already - the razor sharp playing cards and the shoving and odd movements.

I kind of do want Cornelius to pop up and end the fight, though I'm waiting on Rapier to respond to him first. Anyways, I intend for Samson to perform a move he calls Orpheus Blizzard as his finale. Performing four Frozen Roars (basically wolf shaped Beast) is a requirement, and one Wolf's Roar is like three charges (the gauntlet max is twelve).

You know, I wouldn't be surprised if the staff confiscate Samson's ring after this. Considering there'd be no way to punish him that he couldn't just teleport out of.

Yes, but he hasn't told anyone these items have powers. Generally a stupid thing to advertised. Though since it was brought up, the very first Samson was made for a Hunger Games thing. This one would just be confused by the words Hunger Games.

Heather was going to explain it, whilst avoiding getting angry about the fighting. She loses control of her powers when she's angry (or sad, or worried, or any negative emotion), hence the vines growing out from her feet.

If Heather does feel a negative emotion, and either can't be calmed down in time or have her pills quickly enough, she blacks out and her powers go haywire, capable of ripping up trees and throwing cars. The only way to calm her down is to either: lock her in a room where she can't destroy anything and just wait it out or pin her down and give her the pills, or talk/smack some sense into her. She will remember the moment when she blacked out, but won't remember the rampage she caused.

Her eyes also glow green when she's on a rampage.

Well... I really still want to watch Samson fight, so does Jack still want to learn magic from him? Other than that, anyone want to interact with Samson for a bit?
